"You know, Steve, I got to tell you ... you guys in the press are incorrigible. I was literally inaugurated four days ago. And you're talking about elections four years from now," Obama said in the interview, which was conducted on Friday.

"As you know, Steve, I am still secretary of state. So I'm out of politics. And I'm forbidden from even hearing these questions," she said. "The president and I care deeply about what's going to happen for our country in the future. And I don't think, you know, either he or I can make predictions about what's going to happen tomorrow or the next year. What we’ve tried to do over the last four years is get up every day, have a clear eyed view of what’s going on in the world."
